How this Joomla Extension Works


When editing a page or post, you may insert the short code by clicking on the [C] icon above the HTML editor toolbar where the cursor was last placed in the text area. After uploading or selecting an existing image class file (from a previous upload), you can then nominate the security settings to use for the page or post. Different pages can use different security and display settings:

 Width  Width in pixels of the image area
 Height   Height in pixels of the image area
 Border Frame Add a border to the image nominating frame thickness and color 
 Hyperlink Add a clickable link to the image and nominate target frame 
 CaptureSafe  Enable protection from Print Screen and screen capture 
 KeySafe Disable use of web browser menus (browser-dependent) 
 RemoteSafe Prevent access to computers using remote or virtual connection


CopySafe Web Licensing


While this CMS add-on is free, the encrypted images to upload need to be created by the CopySafe Web software.

CopySafe Web Plugin Detection


When CopySafe Web is used on a web page, if a visitor does not have the CopySafe plugin installed, they are redirected for download and install instructions. This module includes everything needed for this task including download and error pages.

Until you have a CopySafe Web software license and real encrypted images, or if you just want to use this Nuke module in demo mode to add protection from right-mouse click and drag-and-drop, you can use the encrypted image included with the download or this one. While this 20 x 20 pixel image may not be registered for your website on the Internet, it will function on any test server running at localhost. When prompted to upload or select your first image, you use this one to get started.

CopySafe Web encrypted images can be be displayed at their original size (calculated from the file name) or they can be rescaled by setting width and height in the shortcode.
